Abstract excerpt

The polymorphism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains was evaluated in French Polynesia, an area with a low incidence of tuberculosis and a population which has been geographically stable during recent decades. Nonrepetitive strains isolated from 64 patients during 1991 and 1992 were subjected t...
